Vico Astemio In Riposto

An excellent location for a delicious dinner. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about any questions we had. We booked a week in advance to secure a spot.

A wonderful experience with the family! The restaurant opens onto a small alley (hence the name "vico") with a welcoming and refined atmosphere. Don't be fooled by the term "teetotal," as the wine list is truly impressive. Note that, in addition to featuring labels from all over Italy, the menu also places great emphasis on wines from the Etna area and Sicily in general. I say this because I appreciate the owner-chef's desire to showcase the richness of his homeland. The menu is very well curated and the ingredients are excellent. My favorite is undoubtedly "my arancino," a sort of deconstructed arancini (I hope the chef will forgive me if that's not the right word) with stew, truly delicious! A big thank you to chef-owner Massimiliano for sharing his stories about the birth of his wonderful restaurant, the fruit of hard work and passion for his craft.

A taste explosion at a high level

Amazing! Would highly recommend

Excellent food. Great atmosphere. The service is just impeccable. Exceptional value for money. A must do in the area. Highly recommended

A hidden gem worth discovering, I'd say a gastronomic gem you'd be hard-pressed to imagine nestled in a Riposto alleyway. The food is excellent; the staff is very knowledgeable; and the wine selection is extensive but well-chosen.

One of the best restaurants I have tried

Top-notch cuisine, congratulations to the entire team! Masterful flavors, meticulous presentation, and a true culinary delight from start to finish. A little restaurant tip: never clear the table before everyone has finished their meal—a detail that makes all the difference in a truly enjoyable experience.

Eccellente cucina, Chef di alto Rango. Piatti interessanti e raffinati. Carta dei vini eccellente. Consiglio vivamente questo Ristorante. Il cibo buono si paga.

Bravi, bravi , bravi! Dopo le nostre ultime deludenti scoperte a “tre croci Michelin” alla ricerca di nuovi posticini, Vico astemio merita assolutamente le tre stelle. Carini, gentili e cortesi. Cibo STREPITOSO!
